Dosage & Bioavailability
How the active doses and forms in Maitake compare to the research.
•Maitake extract 4:1 (Grifola frondosa fruiting body, 26% beta-glucans) — 500 mg per capsule, 1-2 capsules a day: 0.5-1 g a day of maitake extract. Studies used a polysaccharide (D-fraction) extract in cancer patients (1-1.5 g/day), not an extract, and an extract keeps different compounds, so the two are not directly comparable. The stated strength gives about 260 mg of beta-glucans a day; no trial sets a dose for these compounds in maitake, so they show quality rather than dose.
